Oh, I forgot to mention after taking the photo Danny released her back into Blood River. I feel better about keeping the 10-12 inch black crappie for a meal but with these big whites being tougher to find I would hate to kill her. Hopefully she will avoid all the other hooks the next few weeks and lay the eggs she is carrying somewhere safe. Then maybe in four or five years we will be catching her offspring.

Matthew 6:34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
